      More Pennies

      By secret santa · Posted

      As I wrote in an earlier post -  Regarding pennies, an addition not incorporated into the 1985 edition: Page 31, number 80A (1875 8+H with H below date) - can we assume that this coin does not exist ? Some of the changes/additions were incorporated in the 1985 edition but at least one (the one above) was not. I have only checked the comments on pennies.

      I actually have the 1970 edition - I wonder if those errors were corrected in later printings? I bought mine new and I don't remember seeing that insert.

      A History of Troy Weight

      By EWC · Posted

      Hello All, I have been researching the historical weight standards underlying coin issue for about 30 years. I have become concerned about what seems to be a rapidly decline in understanding of the subject in general.  I joined this group specifically in the hope of informed discussion of the History of Troy weight here. For starters then – the 1351 gold noble of Edward III is widely quoted as 120 Troy grains By modern standards that ought to be 7.776g Actual coins seem to bear this out – for instance this one is stated as 7.75g https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=395895 The variation seem to me trivial – well within what we would assume to be the toleration (the “remedy at the shear”). Alternatively, if the Troy weight standard has changed since 1351, it is not by very much. I therefore conclude that the Troy weight standard already existed in 1351, and was used to regulate coin weight. I wonder if anyone differs? Robert Tye
